Mech: Human Trials

Despite a classic and interesting plot, this film succumbs to mediocrity. That's because of the way it tells its story.

It all begins with an action scene that reasonably impresses, enough to make us stay for more. Then, immediately, it shift gears, downwards. The narrator starts narrating, and from now on everything will be exposition by voice over. Not peachy.

My rating would be 5, as in forgettable, if not for the additional sin of repeating a scene, complete and identical. Just in case we had forgotten it, in a 5 minutes long film. That rhetorical device was terribly ill-inspired, and could cause nothing but extra disappointment.

A good idea. a decent story. and nothing more. because the film remains a sketch, interesting but without a credible end. a sketch. mixing Sci Fi pieces with a sort of ordinary ingredients from action films. result - a promise. who falls. like many others films, it has not a real subject. only a pretext about a dark future, chance to be stronger, a bad choice and the desire of revenge. and this is it.
